That's a TPM 1.2 error which means the TPM failed the selftest.  The
original problem was reported against TPM 2.0  because of a missing
try_get_ops().  The tpm 1.2 command path was never changed to require
this (and in fact hasn't changed for ages, TPM 1.2 being a bit
obsolete).  So this looks like a new problem with TPM 1.2 and
suspend/resume, likely in the BIOS of your system.
